We consider the problem of managing multi-customer service level requirements when inventory is rationed according to a priority list. We demonstrate that the optimal purchasing quantity for the two-customer problem may be found through a line search. For multi-customer problems, we derive a formula to find a near-optimal purchasing quantity.
